Managed Care or Not? Managed care training, knowledge and experience is an asset to other pharmacy careers “…I absolutely believe managed care knowledge is essential for communication with patients in any setting… pharmacists are in the front-line to educate patients about [this]…” —Third-year pharmacy student

Managed Care Residency or Not? Benefits – Advancing oneself in a pharmacy niche – Staying up-to-date with new drugs and pipeline agents – Balanced exposure to operational, business and clinical aspects of pharmacy – Provides a competitive advantage in the job market – Greater potential for upward career growth and new/unique career options

Managed Care Residency or Not? Benefits – Attractive work/life balance, including travel & education – Zero to minimal dispensing role/staffing component – Develop career plan and professional vision – Expand networking opportunities to accelerate your career – Involvement in innovative medication management and other nontraditional clinical pharmacy services – Loan payment deferral may be an option during residency year

Managed Care Residency or Not? Limitations – Postpone financial rewards of a pharmacist’s salary – Limited direct face-to-face patient interactions (depending on organization), more patient-population directed interactions – Individuals unfamiliar with managed care may view the business trainings as less “clinical” – Limited availability of residency positions – Professional pharmacy experience may be limited to specific niches

Preparatory Action Steps Get involved early on – Academy of Managed Care Pharmacy (AMCP) school & national chapters – Pharmacy student rotations – Internships – Shadowing opportunities with practitioners Be visible – AMCP, ASHP or local residency program showcases/career fairs/career panels Utilize resources – Student-specific AMCP/ASHP web pages for related materials
